There is a kind of "cute" and "badly" in the painting style of Pete Fowler, and perhaps the cute is an element that surpasses evil. The first series of monsters was released in 2000, 14 years ago. I took a long time to collect this series of monsters.

There’s a Sort of Cute and Evil in Pete's Painting Style, and Perhaps the Cute is a Strong Element in there to Overcoma the Evil. As First Series of Monsterism was released in 2000, since now it has been 14 years ago, I have Spent a lot of Time to Collect All Series of Monsterism.
